we apply the bounds testing (ARDL) approach to cointegration which is more appropriate for estimation in small sample studies. The data span for the study is from 1970 to 2002. Findings: The results indicated the impact of FDI on growth to be negative which is consistent with other past studies. Trade however was found to have significant impact on growth.

level so we cannot reject the null hypothesis of the existence of a co-integrating relationship. Pairwise trace statistics for all possible market pairs are reported in table 8 in the appendix. The pairwise results indicate a strong support for cointegration with 91% of the market pairs showing a long-run equilibrium relationship. Since we have established the existence of co-integrating relationships‚ the VECM can be used to estimate the parameters of interest. Table 3 below presents the results

According to the cointegration analysis established in the mid-80s‚ the non-stationarity of the underlying time series does not always imply the non-stationarity of the linear combinations of these series. Hence‚ it is a prerequisite to ensure that all variables are integrated of order one in levels before employing the panel cointegration tests. Table 3 presents the results performed by Im‚ Pesaran and Shin unit root test of all variables for the four panels of economies tested in both levels

While the Granger causality test within the vector error-correction modelling (VECM) framework is applied to determine the causal relationship between crime rate and its determinants.

The scarcity of energy resources in the world make the relation between economic development and energy consumption more significant. In this study‚ the possible cointegration is inspected by Engle-Granger and Johansen Tests and the direction of the causality is searched by Granger causality test. The analysis showed that there is a long and short term relationship between economic growth and energy consumption in Turkey
